If so then the quality drops a lot which makes me far far more comfortable with it ..... --- End quote --- Yeah, if it's just for an image pack to have an image with the ROM you might consider downscaling the images to 96dpi or something. That would cut down the file size significantly and I guess nobody would raise an eyebrow. --- Quote from: Doom on May 02, 2008, 04:36:41 PM --- (...) at TCP we don't tolerate certain kinds of pirates.

What's this? I said something... funny? HOLY SHIT! :'( - It's true that we don't really have rights over these covers. I suppose the most some people could do is get mad... TheValeman is right in a lot of ways... but I don't think we can directly officially support piracy of any kind... reduces the risk of us getting shut down. I think we don't really have a say though, since it's not our art... especially with a quality reduction. |

Hi! :) First, thanks for your answers ! ;) But I never imagine to create such a discussion here! ??? Indeed emuControlCenter and TheCoverProject have the same "strange" position : who need a ROM manager ? who need a Xbox360, Wii or PS3 cover ? But none forces people to download games! Moreover their main way IS NOT to help pirates! (the proof is that I'm using it, and you remember that I sent you some covers of MY games) Besides I have to reduce the size of covers. To get these I use batch processing. Now discussion is opened. Thus I think I should let you take your time finding an answer together. I know that I could download all covers, resize and share them at emuControlCenter forum, and you probably never saw something. But as I've not a pirate's spirit (even thought I love Sponge Bob ;D), and as I know you did hard work creating this wonderful archive, I can't do it without your permission. ;) Thank you! :D See you soon! ;) |

Well .... we haven't heard from the maestro Snowcone himself. Still .... if you want my opinion for what its worth ..... reduce the picture size from 3366 x 2100 or whatever it is to something like 800 x xxx and drop the dpi from 300 to 96 which is good for screens anyway. That will drop the size and quality of the images. With those constraints I personally dont have a problem. Hey .... I even tried the frontend in the weekend. Little too cluttered for my tastes & MAME was problematic so I'll stick with Maximus Arcade .... but the reduced size pics did look nice I must admit :-) |
